TV programs that try to make events more dramatic than they already are, by using ludicrous tautology.

Heard today..."perilous danger".....excuse me, but what kind of danger is not perilous?

Media buzzwords and catchphrases:

If something bad happens to someone it's always, "totally devastating", no matter what has happened.
If there's a fire somewhere, it's always a "blazing inferno", no matter the true ferocity of the fire!

etc ...

Reminds me of the whole "health and saftey" crap we have to put up with nowadays! I hate that with a passion. I also ignore most of it! There are so many warning signs on everything about this, that and what-not that I have become oblivious to them all.

Oh yes. Even worse are the salesmen who ring the doorbell when I'm just about to take the first mouthful of my piping hot dinner ... and they cheerily launch into their sales pitch, talking to me as if I am their best mate ...
